The 2017 Barcelona Bika Workshop is an event hosted by Bika LIMS OS Collective that caters to Bika LIMS / Bika Health users and enthusiasts, as well as customers and prospective clients. The workshop will be held from 23 to 25 of October.

The 3 days workshop is intended to provide functional and technical training for both existing and prospective Bika users. It will cover the fundamentals of setting up, configuring and getting started with Bika LIMS and continue into specific discussions revolving around the myriad of functionalities the system provides and others to come within the following months. For those participants interested on the technical side, guided sessions with Bika core developers around database architecture, workflows, instrument integration, customizations and deployments will take place too.

The third day of the workshop is intended for those working on specific issues within their laboratory environment (either functional or technical) and/or for those not yet familiar with Bika but interested in the discussion of requirements and particular use cases. Bika team members will provide direct guidance on the issues raised by the participants as well as on hypothetical lab scenarios that are commonly seen within the Bika Community.

The workshop will be carried on under the guidance and coaching of Bika core developers and analysts Campbell McKellar-Basset, Nihad Mammadli, Pau Soliva and Jordi Puiggené.
